Duke basketball secured the commitment of a terrific player from Washington State who could be a contender for ACC Player of the Year

For the first time this offseason, Duke basketball has taken a step toward adding to its roster rather than defending it. The program, which has yet to lose a player to the transfer portal, may have found its first incoming piece in Cedric Coward.

Duke made a splash in the transfer portal by landing Washington State star Cedric Coward. The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 17.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists last season for WSU, and his commitment marks the first addition the Blue Devils have made via the transfer portal this cycle.
